Is it possible to link to filenames that use special characters?
The problem is that I have a directory listing in which there are files with swedish characters in the filenames. The filenames show up okay in the listing, but when you click on them to download you get a file not found error.
One solution is to rename the files using HTML special character codes, like ö, and they will show up in the listing with the swedish characters, and you'll be able to download them.
However, the filenames will look odd when browsing them the normal way, and I'd like to avoid that, if possible.

Regards, e

Do you plan to support decoding UTF-8 URL's in a future version?

Of course. We're working on adding support for UTF URLs in the future.

How about the UTF-8 encoding?

Still seems to be broken, or at least misbehaving... If I use Windows character map to create a file with accented characters in, it doesn't list the correct filename in the directory listing - so when you click the link, it 404's.
